TL;DR: Results demonstrate the relative advantage of utilizing problem-specific knowledge regarding biologically plausible structural properties of gene networks over conducting a problem-agnostic search in the vast space of network architectures.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that an oscillating inertia weight function is competitive and in some cases better than established inertia weight functions, in terms of consistency and speed of convergence.

TL;DR: It is shown that the CML is a valid new model for a parallel deterministic analog machine, but that, in principle, such a CML computer does not generate computations that cannot be reproduced by the standard mathematical models for computing on real numbers.

TL;DR: Genes predicted to be involved in known mechanisms drug sensitivity and resistance correlate well with in vitro chemosensitivity and may allow the definition of predictive signatures to guide individualized chemotherapy in lung cancer.

TL;DR: The report of an ITiCSE working group that gathered information on pass rates from several institutions to determine whether prior results can be confirmed, and conducted a detailed comparison of pass rates in introductory programming courses with passes in introductory courses in other STEM disciplines found that pass rates appear to average about 75; that there is some evidence that they sit at the low end of the range of pass rate in introductory STEM courses.
